"Enough talking, we've wasted so much time," said the Great General. "Let's hurry on our way, or we really won't be able to get back tonight."
It was indeed a serious matter, so Tian Peng stopped talking too and started patrolling with the Great General.
The place they had come from was the starting point. From there, if they headed west until they reached another boundary marker, they could then head back.
This group of men and horses also had to come over every day. Although the nearby tribes would be on guard, they wouldn't constantly follow them.
The Turkic tribes were scattered. Along their patrol route, they would have to pass through three tribes, and as they passed by each one, the patrolmen from those tribes would watch over them until they reached the jurisdiction of the next tribe.
Besides observing the Turkic tribes, Tian Peng also inspected the territories of the Great Tang.
