Shang Zhengyu on the horse's back pondered: "I understand. I see those people who are determined to rob cattle and sheep but do not kill innocent people indiscriminately, so you judge that these people are all subordinates of Brother Meng."
Wanyan Jing nodded and continued: "Originally, these two people were in the depths of the Northern Region and rarely approached Yunzhou. But now that they suddenly appeared here, I think it was because the Lu tribe migrated heavily under the order of Tian Khan, which led to them following them. However, since little Meng Ge has gone south, I believe that Wu Qi should be the same. We must be careful in the future."
"Well, you're right."
Shang Zhengyu's eyes sank a little. In addition to beingware of the mighty stalker tribes at any time, he also had to beware of the horse bandits of Xiao Mengge and Wu Qi. It was really a disaster.
What surprised Shang Zhengyu was that the three men who went north along the road when the Eagle King came saw the ruins of the war no less than three times along the way. It seemed that the Eagle King had never been very peaceful on his way south. It must have been not the first time he was attacked by Little Meng Ge in the Jialou Mountains before. No wonder he left so anxiously after the war ended.
However, facing the battlefield ruins I have seen recently, even Shang Zhengyu, who had already experienced the Battle of Langfu, couldn't help but frown.
There were not many corpses left on the battlefield in the previous few times, and the steps of war horses and cattle and sheep were mixed. It was obviously heading straight for cattle and sheep and horses, which was quite consistent with the techniques of Xiao Mengge who everyone had seen before. But this battlefield ruins were definitely different from those before leaving!
The remains of the tent burned to charcoal were everywhere, and then spread to a large lawn around it. If it weren't for the blizzards in the sky, I'm afraid the fire would have spread. The corpses were not buried on both sides of the road and were eaten by vultures in the sky. There was nothing wrong with this book, but the number was too large, which was much larger than the three battlefield ruins that Shang Zhengyu saw before, and most of them were men, children and elderly people, and women were pitifully few!
This should not be the tribe of the Eagle King, but a small tribe, but judging from the number of corpses and the cruel means, this tribe may have suffered all the tribe.
"Wu Qi, there will be no mistake."
Even Wanyan Jing, who had been through many battles, couldn't help but shudder. She had heard of Wu Qi's reputation since she was a child. The Wanyan tribe of the family had even fought with Wu Qi. Looking back at the tragic scene at that time, Wanyan Jing was still a little scared. If the Wanyan family had not suffered a great loss of clan power after that war, they would not have been willing to belong to the Wolf King. You must know that the Wanyan family had also had a king personally given by Tian Khan, and at that time it was a little stronger than the Eagle King.
Shang Zhengyu turned over and looked around the large area of ​​yellow and withered grass covered by heavy snow, frowned and said, "We will continue to go north, Ziqi, you and I will take turns to investigate, and we must not be slackening at all."
…………
The more you go north, the thicker the snow on the lower side, and the heavier Shang Zhengyu's mood is.
There are more and more battlefield relics, and it seems that Wu Qi's activities in this area are becoming more and more frequent. Just yesterday, Shang Zhengyu and the other two witnessed a tragedy on earth. The fire that soared into the sky could not be covered even by the flying snow. The burning stench in the air could be smelled ten miles away. The crying of women and children and the unrestrained smiles of the cold-blooded butchers hung into the ears of Shang Zhengyu and the three of them in the wind, and could not stop for a long time.
Shang Zhengyu saw the opportunity and the three of them dispatched a team of more than a dozen people. They were responsible for escorting the last batch of women and cattle and sheep to leave. With ambition and unintentionality, Shang Zhengyu and the other two killed the people in just a short time, leaving only a big man with a captain-like appearance fainted and waiting to be asked for confession.
After saving these twenty women, they were a little cautious and even afraid after seeing Shang Zhengyu's Central Plains face, but after Wanyan Jing revealed her lineup, these people quickly settled down. Wanyan Jing's appearance and behavior all show that she was from a famous family, and it was not uncommon for several Han people to be slaves among such tribes.
That’s right, Shang Zhengyu was regarded as Wanyan Jing’s slave!
Shang Zhengyu also saw the change in these women's eyes when they looked at them. He smiled slightly and ignored them. He handed over the full power of negotiations to Wanyan Jing. He went with the captain of the captured thief.
Sure enough, this man took the initiative to admit that he was Wu Qi's subordinate. However, what surprised Shang Zhengyu was that after being tied up, he still demanded that Shang Zhengyu let him go immediately and tie his hands and feet back. Otherwise, in her words, it would be: Wu Qi would tremble when he blamed him for the entire grassland!
Without Shang Zhengyu taking action, Ziqi volunteered. After crushing the joints of the man, he also cut open the meridians of his left and right hands while bleeding, and preventing him from dying soon. Now the night is deep, it is the time when the prairie wolf comes out to find food. The smell of blood is absolutely irresistible for the prairie wolf pack who has been hungry in the snow for a long time!
The reason for this is that when this person looked at Wanyan Jing, Yanzhong showed a naked and lustful evil!
Faced with the wailing and curse behind him, the three of them didn't care. The three collected some dry food and slaughtered a few sheep, peeled it and hung it on the horse's back to air-dry it as a grain reserve. Then they went straight to the road and left the remaining cattle and sheep for these women.
"It was indeed what Wu Qi did, and I learned from these women that their tribe only received the news very late and needed to move south to Yunzhou. In my opinion, these were all done by the Dragon King on purpose, in order to use these small tribes to distract the attention of Xiao Mengge and Wu Qi behind him and ensure that he is
The tribes under the core can enter Yunzhou first at the lowest cost. In other words, these small tribes that are still struggling in the Northern Region are just abandoned sons in the hands of the Dragon King.”
Shang Zhengyu's judgment made Wanyan Jing silent for a while. Although she hated the Wolf King, the Northern Region was the place where she gave birth to and raised her, and she had feelings that could not be given up. The Dragon King was also highly respected in her heart. She really couldn't accept such a Dragon King, but the facts were right in front of her, so she could only choose to remain silent.
Ziqi didn't know what to say, but just walked side by side with Wanyan Jing and held her cold plain hands tightly. Feeling the warmth of the palm of her palm, Wanyan Jing smiled at Ziqi, obviously better.
On the way back, Wanyan Jing became the protagonist. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shang Zhengyu asked Wanyan Jing to take off her cover, while Ziqi and she dressed up as Wanyan Jing's followers. From tribes with more than a hundred people to tribes with thousands of people, sometimes to inquire about news and sometimes to seek supplies, but they have never encountered any difficulties.
The tribes left in this northern region were abandoned by Tian Khan. If they want to survive the ice age, they can only walk together to keep warm. Therefore, this grassland is not big, but more than a dozen tribes gather here. Now the Wujiang City where the three are located is the center of these tribes' dependence. They are not that they do not want to go south to Yunzhou, but once they leave here, they will enter the Wuqi sphere of influence, and they cannot bear the consequences.
Wanyan Jing's noble words and behaviors made him a popular item in front of these tribe patriarchs. Some people even intended to match the young heroes in the clan with Wanyan Jing, leaving Shang Zhengyu speechless.
However, the ideas of these patriarchs are understandable. They have already realized that the people who stayed in the Northern Territory have been abandoned by the Dragon King, that is, their Tian Khan. In their opinion, Wanyan Jing's tribe must have been approved to enter the large tribe in Yunzhou. They all hope that through Wanyan Jing's relationship, their tribe members can also obtain this qualification.
Wanyan Jing knew all this well and was rude to those who pursued it, but Ziqi was not like this. The three of them had been in Wujiang City for four days, and they were all ready for the supplies, but they were unable to leave for a long time because the son of the lord of Wujiang City had been pestering Wanyan Jing.
This was the fifth day. Shang Zhengyu was planning to leave no matter what, but as soon as he left the door, a luxurious carriage came towards him, which immediately made Shang Zhengyu frown. The same was true for Wanyan Jing and Ziqi, especially Ziqi. A faint murderous aura had turned into an invisible aura and spread uncontrollably around. If Shang Zhengyu had not had a sharp sense of sensing and immediately exerted his momentum and neutralized Ziqi's murderous intent, the three of them would have been exposed.
