The stars and moon are very beautiful tonight. The brilliance of the stars in the universe shines on the earth from hundreds of millions of light years away, cold and vast.

Qi Ping was running at a constant speed. In his field of vision, a winding river was like a jade belt, reflecting the white moonlight, nourishing the land from west to east.

He did not sneak in rashly, but hid in a leeward place outside the tribe, stuck his head out, and watched quietly.

It was a medium-sized tribe with dozens of families who moved with the pastures.

The flock is not small.

In the huge fence, sheep stood or lay down, silently ruminating, and the tents were like mushrooms. After nightfall, the oil lamps lit up in the tents, but soon they went out again.

Grassland herdsmen are short of supplies, and many of their daily necessities rely on caravans traveling between the two places, which has also contributed to the prosperity of the "land port".

Qi calmly waited, then quietly stood up, avoiding the sight of the shepherd dog, and flew into the tribe like a civet cat.

After a little hesitation, I chose a relatively wealthy one.

After climbing over the fence and leaning against the tent, he could hear the chatter inside. It was a family speaking barbarian language, which he couldn't understand.

Just vaguely, I seemed to hear the male host pronouncing the name "Qi Ping" in an awkward pronunciation.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, had he been wanted by various tribes?

Not surprised, just confused.

The pressure on the pursuers was slightly relieved, but there was still no chance to return.

"Oh, maybe I can keep going west, walk around the world, and then return to Kyoto." Qi Ping thought happily.

With gentle steps, he got into the storage tent, and with his extraordinary eyesight, he began to pick out the dried meat and noodles and stuff them into bags.

Then I found a barrel of kumiss in the corner.

He dipped his finger into it and held it in his mouth, feeling the milky aroma of the bad wine. The young man who had been escaping for more than ten days in a desperate situation suddenly laughed silently.

After thinking about it, he simply sat on the ground, poured himself a glass of wine with a wooden spoon, picked up a cold pancake, took small bites, and started eating.

This was his first serious dinner in more than ten days.

There is no need to huddle in a cave, there is a sheltered and warm place, although it is cold, at least it is food for human consumption, and there is wine...

By the way, there's also moonlight.

There was a gap above the tent curtain, and a narrow sliver of moonlight shone into the dim warehouse, just enough to shine on Qi Ping's dirty face.

Raise a glass to the bright moon, and look at each other as three people... After these days, the boss and the others have probably returned to Beijing. I wonder if they will be anxious if they can't find me.

There is also a younger sister, who may be very worried, but the elder brother has worked very hard and still can’t go back...

Loneliness surges in like a tide, swallowing Qi Ping.

Two months after leaving Beijing, he suddenly felt homesick.

"Woof woof!"

At this moment, suddenly, fierce barking came from outside.

It was one at first, but soon they became one. Qi Ping was startled and hurriedly suppressed his emotions. He drew the sword with his right hand and listened carefully. In the night, there was a war horse neighing, getting closer and closer.

…

Outside the tribe.

A group of fierce barbarian cavalry roared over, holding torches high and looking fierce. The dark tents lit up again. The herdsmen put on their coats, walked out one after another, and gathered.

"It's the Golden Wolf Cavalry." Someone whispered.

It was recognized that the armors and uniforms of these cavalry were the famous "Golden Wolf Cavalry", the elite of the royal court.

But, how could the elites of the royal family suddenly come to visit?

"On the order of King Khan, we are hunting down Liang Guo Xizuo. Have you found any strangers?" the leader of the Golden Wolf Cavalry asked.

In the tribe, an older and more prestigious old man shook his head and said respectfully:

"Never seen it."

The Golden Wolf Cavalry threatened: "Call everyone out. We want to see if there is one missing, we will be punished as hiding!"

The herdsmen were terrified.

The Golden Wolf Cavalry smiled with satisfaction and said: "If anyone provides clues and finds out the details, the royal court will reward you with a thousand oxen."

The herdsmen became excited.

They greeted the family members who had not yet come out and asked and talked.

For a moment, I turned from fear to regret, wondering why the meticulous work didn't appear.

A middle-aged man ran back to the courtyard, waved his arms, and recounted what Wangting Langqi said.

Inside the house, the wife and two children breathed a sigh of relief and wondered:

"That Liangguo man hasn't been caught yet? Could it be that he's near the tribe?"

The man's skin was dark red and he said: "I'm afraid it is, but unfortunately, we didn't see it. I was rewarded with a thousand cows."

Even on the grassland, a thousand cattle is an unimaginably huge sum of money.

The woman shook her head, not thinking it was a good thing, and besides, it might not be given... Just as she was about to leave the hospital, she suddenly discovered that one child was missing.

backyard.

A sturdy child peed, and suddenly looked at the haystack in confusion, feeling a little strange. He walked over, frowned, stretched out his hands to tear away the hay, and widened his eyes.

Under the moonlight, there was actually a person hiding in the haystack. Although his face was dirty, he clearly looked like someone from the Liang Kingdom.

Qi Ping was buried in the haystack, looking at the stunned boy, grinning, showing a kind and big smile, and put his finger in front of his lips: "Shh."

The boy looked at him for a while, then suddenly turned around and ran away. Qi Ping breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, he heard the boy's loud shout coming from the yard:

"He's here! Come and catch him!"

Qi Ping's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Not long after, Qi Ping was wearing a cotton robe and carrying a brand new scimitar, one person, one knife, and walked out of the tribe.

Behind him, flames rose, the tents burned, and the smell of blood filled the air.

The frightened screams of the herdsmen, the barking of dogs, and the bleating of sheep...were all mixed together, as if they were a footnote to this scene.

…

in the dark.

A cavalry team of hundreds of people was running leisurely, and each one of them was a member of the Royal Court's Golden Wolf Cavalry.

The weapons and armor are exquisite, far beyond the comparison of ordinary barbarian soldiers.

Prince Latu wore light armor and rode on a black, extremely strong horse. The braid on the back of his head swayed with the ups and downs of the horse.

"Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry? You are not in a hurry to pursue that person."

A barbarian Golden Wolf leader couldn't help but persuade.

The young man named Latu turned to look at him: "Do you think it's hard?"

The leader of the Golden Wolf shook his head hurriedly: "I don't dare, I'm just worried that you are too tired."

Latu smiled lightly and did not answer. He just held the riding crop, pointed forward, and said:

"Chasing all the way, although Qi Ping was cautious enough, he still had traces to follow. According to this prince's speculation, he must be in this direction, and the decrease in pursuit intensity in the past few days will definitely make him relax and be careless.

.

The more it is at this time, the less we can give him a chance to breathe... Haha, since you are the golden wolf head, let me ask you, what does the prairie wolf rely on when hunting down its prey? "

The leader of the golden wolf tried: "In groups?"

... Latu glanced at him and said:

"It's endurance. Animals on the grassland run too fast, so the wolf has to be more patient than the prey. Until the prey's physical strength and willpower reach the limit and can't run anymore, he won't be able to hold on for long."

At this time, a cavalryman said in surprise:

"There's a fire ahead!"

Latu turned his head and looked around. The flames looked like ferocious flags in the dark night.

"Something happened to the exploration team." The leader of the Golden Wolf said.

Latu whipped his horse, took the lead, and led the team to rush over.

Because the demon blood horse under his crotch was much faster than the others, he quickly left hundreds of subordinates behind, but he didn't wait at all.

When they arrived outside the tribe, they immediately saw the wolf rider in a pool of blood.

The old herdsman sat down in horror and his eyes stopped moving when he saw Latu.

"Is he that Liangguo man? Where has he gone?" Latu asked.

The old herdsman pointed in one direction.
