254: More than enough to ruin things, but not enough to accomplish them.

Cao Qing and Mu Xing did bring a lot of news; after being beaten severely by Southern Qi two years ago, the Tatars did not dare to make any major moves against Yulin Guard Zhangping Mansion last year, at most conducting small-scale harassment and retreating quickly without delving too deep.

However, while they dared not rob Southern Qi, they went all out to loot the surrounding tribes one after another. Su Xinyi then realized that there was chaos on the grasslands last year, with battles taking place everywhere. No wonder Mu Xing complained, the trade convoys had risked danger but had indeed obtained a lot of news, as well as a wealth of treasures, such as those horses.

The expression on Su Xinyi's face suddenly became serious. The fact that the Tatars did not rob Southern Qi but chose to loot all the surrounding tribes probably meant they had gathered enough food and horses this year and would target Southern Qi once again.
