Chapter 451 Chapter 416: Narrow Enemy Road

"Oh?" Du Wei froze for a moment. Then he frowned and stood up: "Take me to the leader of this caravan!" Toya breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "Sir, our Desert Fox mercenary group is a formally registered mercenary group in the Northwest Desa Province, and pays taxes on time. It is absolutely loyal to the Tulip family! This This matter, no matter what conspiracy there is, has nothing to do with us!" Du Wei smiled, and patted the nervous man: "Don't worry, I know, you are just guards, and you don't know what's going on." After being comforted by this distinguished guest "from the Tulip family", Toya was really relieved.He walked out of the tent with Du Wei and Qiao Qiao, and said in a low voice, "Sir, do you want me to summon someone to control the leader of this caravan first?"

Du Wei smiled: "No need." Toya laughed dryly twice, and saw Qiao Qiao standing aside with an indifferent expression—with such a master, why would he need help from his own people? The leader of the caravan lived in a separate tent, and when people outside saw Du Wei and Toya coming, they did not dare to stop them.Du Wei asked Toya to wait outside, and he and Qiao Qiao walked in directly. The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man in his forties, with curly brown hair and a snub nose. He seemed to be a Roland with prairie blood—there were many such people in the border area, so it was not surprising.

Seeing Du Wei coming in, the caravan leader was startled, and then his face was filled with a smile: "Ah! So it's the honorable Mr. Harry Potter, I..." Du Wei looked calm, walked directly into the tent, sat down on his own, then looked at the caravan leader, and said calmly: "Sir, I have a question for you, please be honest Answer me... Excuse me, do you have a letter with you?" As soon as the words came out, the caravan leader suddenly changed his color, took a step back, and subconsciously touched the scimitar worn by his waist-in the border area, many people are used to wearing this kind of prairie people machete.

However, seeing Qiao Qiao's indifferent eyes, the caravan leader immediately broke out in a cold sweat - after witnessing Qiao Qiao's strength just now, he asked himself that he was not the opponent of this female warrior.So the hand touched the handle of the knife, but put it down again.He just stared at Du Wei nervously: "Your Excellency, this is my private matter, please don't ask me! Otherwise, it may not be of any benefit to you!" Du Wei smiled. He looked at the caravan leader and said with a smile, "Oh?" "That's right!" The caravan leader calmed down a bit, and said through gritted teeth, "Your Excellency, although I am surprised by the strength you and this beautiful lady have shown... Besides, I also recognized your accent, it should be With a strong northwestern accent! I think the two of you should also be from the Northwest! Therefore, I advise the two of you, please don’t ask about this matter! No matter what you hear or see, please bury it deeply in the Keep it in your heart! I will keep in mind the life-saving grace of the two of you tonight, and I will pretend that I didn’t hear what you said just now... Otherwise, although the two of you are outstanding in strength, in this place in the northwest... there are still some things, some people, and the two are the most It's better not to provoke me!"

Although these words were soft and hard, there was no lack of sincerity in the tone.Especially when it comes to the life-saving grace just now, the caravan leader's eyes, at least in Du Wei's view, are still very sincere. Du Wei's heart moved suddenly, and he remembered something. The originally indifferent smile on his face became gentler. Looking into the eyes of the caravan leader, he suddenly asked, "Are you working for the Tulip family?" "You!" The caravan leader's face changed, and suddenly there was a glint of desperation in his eyes, and then he gritted his teeth suddenly, knowing that he was invincible, he still pulled out the scimitar, and at the same time put his other hand into his arms ...

"Don't worry!" Du Wei smiled.He touched it from his bosom, took out a golden badge, and waved it in front of this guy: "You should recognize this." The leader of the caravan was stunned, staring intently at the things in Du Wei's hands, he couldn't help shaking, and suddenly lost his voice: "Gold badge?! Ah! You are from the Tulip family?!" He didn't hesitate anymore, and quickly knelt down on one knee: "Sir, please forgive my presumptuousness just now, I don't know your identity..." The badge in Du Wei's hand has a strange shape, with a pattern of a flame tulip engraved on it.This is the symbol of the identity of the people in the Tulip family.Moreover, in order to prevent counterfeiting and counterfeiting, each badge bears a set of special numbers.These numbers are Arabic numerals specially compiled by Du Wei, and outsiders will never know what they mean.

This kind of badge, from the black iron badge to the highest-level gold badge, was specially assigned to a group of secret personnel who were in charge of instigating rebellion on the grassland before the head of the Alpha bodyguard. The leader of this caravan is naturally also a "dark thread" who is responsible for traveling to and from the grasslands and serving the Tulip family. Seeing that Du Wei took out the gold badge, the caravan owner was relieved after distinguishing the authenticity, but his attitude was even more respectful: "So it's...my lord." He didn't know how to address Du Wei, but to be able to hold a gold badge, he must be someone with a very high status in the family.It is not an exaggeration to call him "adult".

After all, according to the legend, only their supreme leader, His Excellency Alpha, and Mr. Philip, who is said to be the most trusted by the Duke's side, can hold the gold badge. I haven't heard of anyone else holding such a badge yet. However, what happened to the leader of the caravan could not be associated with the Duke of Tulip—after all, no one would have thought that the Duke, who was so busy with his daily affairs, would suddenly run into the desert without making a sound. Afterwards, the caravan owner honestly explained his identity as Alpha's subordinate, who was responsible for traveling between the empire and the grassland, using his identity as the caravan owner as a cover to inquire about the movements of the various ethnic groups and tribes on the grassland , and is also responsible for delivering some letters and messages.

Without waiting for Du Wei to propose, he took the initiative to take out a secret letter hidden in the interlayer of his clothes and handed it to Du Wei. , give this letter to Patriarch Saladin." But Du Wei only glanced at it, and didn't take it over, so he said directly: "You can take it." He didn't need to read it to know that he couldn't understand the contents of the letter now! Because of Du Wei's "creativity", he has long ordered that all correspondence with Saladin on the grassland must not use the normal writing mode, but all use "passwords"!

The cipher invented by Du Wei is also derived from his previous life knowledge: the contents of the letters exchanged are composed of some strange numbers.Even if outsiders saw these numbers, they would not understand what they meant!And only you know! When Saladin received this letter, he would take out a book that he carried with him, and according to the numbers on the secret letter, turn to the page, line, word, etc... Finally Only then can the original text of the letter be restored! This method of keeping secrets does not currently exist on the Roland Continent. It can be said that it is Du Wei's original method to lead this era.

The "Codebook" agreed upon by Du Wei and Saladin is nothing but the most common "Sacred Book" of the Temple of Light on Roland Continent!If those believers in the Church of Light knew that Du Wei actually used the sacred scriptures as codebooks, they would definitely charge Du Wei with disrespect to the gods... Du Wei didn't carry the "Teaching Book" with him, so even if he opened the letter, he couldn't understand the content of the letter.Anyway, since it is confirmed that the leader of this caravan is "one of our own", the goal has been achieved. Then Du Wei told this guy, as long as he completes his task. But...there is actually a group of horse thieves who know they want to come and snatch this letter? ! Could it be that other tribes on the grassland already knew of the secret collusion between themselves and Saladin? Reminiscent of the confession made by the previous captives, this gang of horse thieves has secretly connected with some tribes on the grassland... Then it seems that other tribes on the grassland are about to move now! snort! Du Wei sneered, and when he turned to the leader of the caravan, his face calmed down: "You better be careful, your identity should have been exposed! Because the horse thieves tonight came for the letter on your body So, along the way, I'm afraid you will encounter some dangers." The leader of the caravan looked awe-inspiring, his expression was full of determination and determination, his tone was dignified, and he said slowly word by word: "My lord, my life was saved by Lord Alpha back then, and I have sworn allegiance to the family." Even if I serve the family and die unfortunately, the family will take care of my wife and daughter, so I am not afraid of death."
