Chapter 1228: Monitoring
Little Treasure knew the moment Ogedei’s convoy changed its route. He waved at the two people from the trade caravan beside him and asked, "Is there a byway nearby that leads to Weizhou?"
"Yes, there are several of them. Because we’re in charge of guarding this place, we know our surroundings very well. Even if they take a byway, we can intercept them from the front."
Satisfied, Little Treasure instructed, "Then choose four skilled scouts to follow them. We’ll intercept them from the front."
After the subordinates left, Little Treasure asked Little Bear, "Considering we’re already a certain distance away from the border, how confident are you that we can capture Ogedei if we make a move now?"
Little Bear calculated the number of people on their side and the number of people on the other side and replied, "80%. We have more people than them."
Although the other party had more guards, Yuan Qing had arranged many of his men to follow the trade caravans as escorts and guards. He could mobilize them at any time.
However, Ogedei’s horse was pretty good. If anything happened, his guards would definitely risk their lives to help him escape. Therefore, they could not rule out the possibility of Ogedei escaping.
"Then let’s wait a little longer. We’ll take action if we really can’t find out why he came to Great Qi."
"What if he has assistants in Great Qi?" The guards felt that this was too dangerous and persuaded the two young masters. "We still think it’s better to let Yuan Qing handle this matter."
Little Bear looked down on them. "Even if he has assistants in Great Qi, could it be that his assistants are greater in numbers and more impressive than mine?"
